News where you are
Apparently nothing much happened in recent days in the London area except the unwelcome news that a cabbie was taken short and took a leak in a garden somehwere near Heathrow. Residents are upset that taxi drivers are taking this short cut.
Yes, that’s BBC local news for you.
Except I’ve oversimplified – headline news for London – because there were all of two stories not just one – was a story straight from Corbyn’s dinner party chums – ‘The Oldest Commune in Islington is under threat!’ – just as I’m about to blurt out ‘You couldn’t make it up’ the BBC tells me their morning ‘headline’ is actually just a teaser for a ‘full report’ tonight at 7.30 in London Inside Out
London Upside Down, more like.
And we pay for this tripe.
May have been missed but the BBC didn’t.
New life for Syrian tripped by Hungarian camerawoman
‘Remember a Syrian migrant who was tripped up by a Hungarian camerawoman while holding his son? You may have seen the video clip of Osama Abdul Mohsen’s son falling to the ground. Well, Osama has since been offered a football coaching job in Spain, and he’s just arrived there with his sons.’
Nobel secretary regrets Obama peace prize
‘Geir Lundestad told the AP news agency that the committee hoped the award would strengthen Mr Obama.’
Why Pakistan is struggling to heal young heart patients
‘Pakistan has one of the highest rates of children with congenital heart disease in the world: each year, between 40-50,000 children are born with heart defects.
Professor Masood Sadiq, a leading heart surgeon, says it’s mainly due to lack of maternal healthcare.’ No mention of the prevalence of marriage between cousins leading to congenital defects, however.
Jeremy Clarkson to make BBC return hosting Have I Got News For You
‘He will join team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton when the new series returns on 2 October.’ Come back Jeremy. All is forgiven after your “fracas”. What are three large scale controversies in one year?
Jezza back already? BBC forgiveness at usual levels. Lucky he has no unfortunate political relatives.
I wonder how Danny Cohen feels about it all?
Maybe he had a wee corridor conversation with the boys on how things should go down, like they did the last guy. Ratings gold. Not funny, but ratings gold.
‘With all due respect to Luxembourg…’
The unintentional comedy moments keep coming as BBC reporters in far away countries of which we know little (in fact just an Easy Jet hop away) attempt to ad lib to camera whilst still balancing a heavy load of PC crap in their heads.
The Luxembourg proviso (sounds like a 1970s international thriller paperback) was just a related amusing comment by BBC Breakfast’s sports jocky Chris Hollins. The man who must offend no one. He was simply protecting another all of half-a-million non-Licence Fee payers from the Grand Duchy who might have taken to Twitter when in passing he dissed their sporting prowess – a bit. But I digress.
Back to the migrant crisis.
Surely a special prize must go to the one thousandth BBC reporter to check in from Europe with this story?
For me at least Guy De Launey is a new boy on the BBC block. He attempts a risky bit of advanced acrobatics however by chatting with our Naga from the studio. She asks some rambling catch all question and in reply our Guy needs to tell us that the migrants don’t really want to stay in Slovenia – a simple statement of fact, you would think. But for the walking-on-international-egg-shells BBC there needs to be an ‘All Due Respect to Luxembourg Moment’
Guy De Launey: ‘Slovenia… it’s a really nice country’
A million Slovene fingers poised over their Twitter may now relax
I’m sure they will live happily enough with the fact the migrants are just passing through without taking it personally.
The irony of course being that were one to add several hundred thousand assorted budding computer programmers wishing to further their education then Slovenia may just lose some of that quiet backwater charm.
The BBC is really annoyed that some unnamed Republican said he cannot foresee a Muslim becoming president. They are interviewing some American black activist with an enormous chip on his shoulder – just the type the BBC likes, who agrees with the BBC suggestion that Black people are oppressed in America !
It reminds me of the verse from the Bible Matthew 7:5 ‘Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.’
The BBC has played an enormous part in the huge oppression of the white populace which took place under the Fascist Nu Labour years.
I can’t remember which thread but someone named him on here last night. The reason why the BBC won’t give that detail is because he is a black Republican.
For the record here are the quotes from Ben Carson , a Neurosurgeon by trade, from his Meet the Press Interview.
Appearing on “Meet the Press” Sunday morning, Carson told NBC’s Chuck Todd that a president’s faith should matter to voters if that faith is ”inconsistent with the values and principles of America.”
“If it fits within the realm of America and [is] consistent with the Constitution, no problem,” Carson said of a president’s personal faith.
“I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation,” Carson said.
Great bias on ‘Have Your Say’ this morning. No open threads and the qualifications to submit something are as follows
Greek election – “Are you in Greece?”
Migrant Crisis – “Are you in Austria?”
Police cuts story – “Are you in the Police?”
What a great way to cut down feedback, mind you it’s a conventional ploy by the Beeboids to encourage only “producer” feedback – you know, “do you work in the NHS” as opposed to “have you been waiting for several hours in an NHS hospital waiting for a consultant appointment”
Bias is often revealed not in what you say but in what you don’t say and in what you don’t allow others to say.
Did I read from an authoritative source that only 1 in 4 migrants are Syrian? Did I witness exclusively young male migrants climbing into a railway carriage? Funny how these things never get mentioned by the BBC thought police.
Crafty tinkers, are they not?
There are always ”ways’.
For instance, this morning has been alive with a certain story, and many upset the BBC has not yet weighed in.
By sheer coincidence, on Facebook they have a story from China about pigs, with pig pictures. Lots and lots of pigs. It’s like a dispensation was issued from the Top Trumps dept.
What are the odds?
The point of the “Are you” items is to not only generate story leads, but to generate story leads which fit with the “take” the BBC wish to put forward.
It really is a pernicious.
If a policeman writes in and says there is a lot of waste in the force on diversity training , do you think that will be picked up. as a story line?
Item on the news this morning about the revamp of Birmingham New Street railway station.

Being outside the country I can only watch Question time when it gets put on YouTube, and so I belatedly watched the 17/09 show. Dimbleby gave Mcdonnell acres of space in which to spout his lefty idiocy, and only right at the end was anything said about Corbyn not singing the national anthem.
No time now to search for links but from what I understand:
Corbyn claimed that he was distracted and moved by the ceremony and so did not sing the anthem. Then it transpired that he doesn’t know the words but would learn them so he could sing it in future. McDonnell evidently hadn’t done his homework before coming onto QT because he claimed the Corbyn had sung the anthem before and would do so again.
Someone should tell him that a liar needs to get his story straight, otherwise he’s easily exposed. Even a few of the panellists expressed doubt about his version of events.
The following is probably close to the truth:
* Corbyn, as a subversive far-left ideologue, despises his country, has never sung the anthem and doesn’t know the words.
* Both he and McDonnell are desperately trying to do damage control re his failure to sing it.
It will be a dark day for Britain if he becomes PM.
